CBC in Canada has just published an article bemoaning the fact that terfism is spreading to Canada from the UK. Best news I've heard in a while! Go Terf Island!

Just read it. Such obvious bias in favour of " trans " people,even to the extent of calling so called " transphobia " an " ideology " ,which it is NOT.!! Speaking the TRUTH and accepting REALITY is a normal human trait ,not an idea in someone's head ,and it's definitely the only way society can function ,unless they somehow come up with a method of procreation which doesn't involve a SPERM and an OVA ( produced by a human MALE and a human FEMALE ) aka a MAN and a WOMAN !!

That winds me up, that GC is referred to as anti-trans. We aren't against trans people, we are against an ideology that harms women and children by ignoring safeguarding and boundaries.

Should we start calling trans campaigners anti-women?

CBC has become a propaganda vehicle for TRAs - there's no attempt at unbiased factual reporting.

You would think they could find one gender critical person to speak to the other side of the issue instead of only referring to the latest articles. That managed to dig up more than one trans person.☹️🇨🇦

The Scottish Government needs to be dragged through the Courts NOW. If anyone followed the Alex Salmond case and subsequent inquiry into the Government's behaviour, they'll know how the Government tried its best to prevent documents coming to light both in Court and to the Inquiry. Sturgeon was also found to have misled the Inquiry in its findings. Expect similar behaviour in any case on this issue, which will hopefully result in Ministers being found in contempt and treated accordingly.

Thanks JL. Some weeks I need the good news more than other weeks. So good to see The Times rectify its omission and people openly supporting DocStock. I've bought my copy. I always like to put my money where my mouth is.

Thanks ,JL. Good news to cheer us all up. Great to see support for Kathleen Stock after all she's suffered from the tra bullies , and Sussex University should be ashamed of its weak "support " of her and its failure to roundly condemn the bullies in their midst. The threat of expulsion might have " concentrated their minds wonderfully ".! So now they have lost a well loved professor who was a credit to their institution !! As for the " UNION " which is supposed to look after its members interests ,they're unspeakable cowards !! Hopefully ,this shameful episode will have peaked lots more people. I bought her book " Material Girls " months ago and thoroughly enjoyed it. Hope lots more people buy it 🙏🙏

Meanwhile here in the US a multi billion $ infrastructure bill was passed with GENDER ID enshrined throughout. Most people are not aware of this. Biden and Dems are giving their paymasters what they paid for.

That news gave me a fleeting, entirely involuntary instant of almost wishing Trump had won. The fact I could ever even briefly entertain such a thought kind of sums up how insane I find all this.

Basically what has happened to me. I spent 2016 shouting NO NO NOOOOO. FUCK YOU IF YOURE JUST SITTING THERE. THIS CANT HAPPEN. All while figuring it wouldnt because it was such a sad joke. Then it did. Then i deleted everyone, killed accounts, spent 4 years pretending he didnt exist. 2021 i figure i can socialize again. Nope.

Gender critical views are really only just getting the attention and airing they deserve. The media has been very TQ+ saturated for some time, disproportionately so.

I would like to say though that just as the lgbtq movement attracted women-hating misogynists who could hide behind the virtue-signalling, our cause can be just as susceptible to tailgaters who really just don't like gender non-conforming behaviour.

No one should hate trans people, and I would hope no one here does. It's the harm that the ideology is promoting. Trans people should be able to live their best life while women retain important single-sex spaces and boundaries. I really wish they would focus on third spaces for safety of those who shouldn't be in women's.

Expand full comment

I agree, no one should hate transpeople, but many trans activists demonstrate repeatedly how much they hate women. Much of this hatred seems to come from so called trans allies, Owen Jones being a prominent example.

Again, women aren't be listened to, we are being silenced. We are being villified for trying to protect the rights and freedoms we have. We know what's happening to lesbians, they are being accused of transphobia for wanting to have control of their own spaces, even their own bodies. No one has to explain or justify who they choose as sexual partners. How can this be considered any other than misogynistic bullying?

Same sex attraction is just that, it isn't notional, it's a reality. It's irrelevant whether a transwoman identifies as a woman if lesbians don't consider them women. They aren't vagina fetishists any more than heterosexual women are penis fetishists.

All of this is so disturbing and I can't believe we are having conversations about this.

Expand full comment

I suppose we shouldn't be surprised that a word like "fetishists" is used by a community that encourages, nurtures, and celebrates them.

I completely agree that no one should have to justify who they don't want to consider as a sexual partner. If I fancy men over 6ft with blonde hair, I would consider a short dark-haired guy badgering me to explain why I don't fancy him as borderline harassment. Trans people don't get a pass from abusive behaviour because they claim an identity. They aren't disabled or lack control of their faculties. If someone doesn't want to sleep with you, move on.

Expand full comment

You're right, if someone doesn't want to sleep with you, move on. Men blaming and pressurising women who aren't attracted to them into having sex is very male behaviour, and it isn't any less male when it applies to transwoman. It's this which needs to be addressed, not the transphobia of lesbians.

Accounts of lesbians forcing themselves into having sex with transwoman to reassure them and show they aren't transphobic are heartbreaking. And even more so when organisations claiming to represent don't offer them support.

There is an Amazon series starting Always Jane. The Guardian does a preview of it. One of the most sinister aspect of all this is the assertion that all Jane and her family want to do is live free and happy and what's wrong with that? That is how the majority of pro Trans articles start from. Oh and Jane's surgery is part of the documentary but the writer makes sure to say it doesn't matter if a trans person has surgery or not. This intensely individualistic take on this issue is so devious. And the framing it as a civil rights issue. Boils my blood it really does.

Expand full comment

They DO live free and happy, ffs. Where does this persecution complex come from?

Expand full comment

Absolutely no idea but its that same old tired cliche of persecution. Very similar to Kristen Beck another transgender who was a Navy Seal. He has the same old hokey, bravery, (countless tours in Iraq and Afghanistan)living in the truth. It's like out of a Hallmark card with the obligatory crap music and long distance shots. Interestingly they always gloss over the complete devastation these men leave behind. Kristen admits being a terrible father in his first marriage and neglectful. But obviously his truth and life is all that matters. Very similar to Kaitlyn Jenner leaving 3 marriages and never looking back. It's all collateral damage. The most narcissist monsters . If you want to get away scot free in life it seems the best way to do that is to self identify as the opposite sex.

On Spinster, there's been information about a new university opening in Austin, Texas. The University of Texas is in Austin, but this is titled The University of Austin, and it's Kathleen Stock's new employer. It is specifically targeting cancel culture and captured academia from my understanding, looking instead to be an open forum of genuine education. One can hope!

In Australia we are not so advanced.........the Greens Party has adopted the transgender future of us all, being busily supporting the idea of The University of the Future, to be opened as a Greens event with a speech by a recently retired Australian transwoman professor, famous as lecturer in Feminism as Gender Studies, ie. down the rabbit hole..................here we go!
